Format:Hardcover
To be honest, I was entirely underwhelmed.
I like Peter Jones from what I've seen on Dragons Den.
I really enjoy reading business books, having very recently read James Caan, Duncan Bannatyne, 3 Richard Branson books and the quite brilliant Felix Dennis' How to get Rich.
This book however left me feeling empty. With all of the aforementioned books I have looked forward to picking them back up again from the moment I put them down. Here though, I almost dreaded having to read it again.
But why?
It all comes down to one main thing. This doesn't feel like it's written by Peter Jones. It feels like it's written by a scholar, not an entrepreneur. And mostly, there's no personality that shines through in the writing. Simply bland.
I have about 30 pages left to read. Still not sure if I can face reading them.
If you want a business book and haven't read any of the ones mentioned above - pick them, not this.

I read approximately 20-30 books a year and have until now never stopped reading a book before I have finished it, but it was impossible to finish Tycoon! Peter Jones is really good in the show but as an author he is terrible. The money spent on this book was a complete waste, don't buy it.

By some considerable distance the worst of the Den Quintet's books. Really struggles to get going - in fact it never really does. I read a lot and I just could not finish this one - even on attempt two I gave up. Buy Duncan's, James's and Theo's first then even Deborah's before you bother with this one. A real disappointment from a usually inspirational Peter Jones.

Drudgery in a printed form.
A great admirer of Jones for some years - but what is this? Repetition, repetition, repetition. Totally uninspiring yet on TV he is totally inspiring. Read more

Action-oriented - not bad.
Despite the hideous persona he displays on Dragons Den, and the nitwit title of the book, "Tycoon" is actually pretty good - it wasn't at all what I expected. Read more
